Many talented artists residing in our communities, especially older artists, remain under recognized. Consider programs to exhibit or show their work by involving local artists and arts professionals in efforts to identify them. Anonymous Was A Woman, an Award for women artists over 40, has provided $5 million to 200 women in the last 20 years. Our 2015 Awards, just announced, honored 10 women from 42-80 all still active and producing work.

We agree that artistic expression offers tremendous opportunity for students to creatively engage with Jewish texts and that partnering with artists is invaluable to Jewish organizations. RAVSAK’s Artists’ Beit Midrash engages professional artists to advise the development of the program and to serve as judges of the student work for the contest. Artists see the world differently and we believe that it is important to develop these artistic lenses in our students. We appreciate your sharing guidelines so that we can continue to work with the artists with appropriate respect for their talent and time. (http://ow.ly/Uu5so)
